Buzz off coffee, tea is having a renaissance for some of us.

Though Americans spent a total of $13.6 billion on coffee in 2016, according to Statista, and there are a whopping 33,000 coffee shops in the U.S. according to Mintel -- some are increasingly opting for tea. Indeed, wholesale tea sales hit $1.84 billion in 2017 according to Statista, and are projected to grow to 2.4% next year.

And one of the fastest growing segments is matcha -- a type of green tea -- which is expected to witness a 7.6% growth through the year 2025, with a total global market share of $4 billion by 2024 according to research group Global Market Insights, Inc. That would make it the fastest-growing segment of the global tea market.
